Get your wife a pump (we LOVE our Ameda). Since you’ll be working from home, give your baby two evening feeds (we did MN and 2 am). I got the best 4 hours of sleep which kept me going for the rest of the time. My husband has also given me an hour or two to get a massage or a pedicure. It’s fabulous to have so much support. (A massage at 6 weeks was amazing and I knew the baby would be fed and fine with Dad). Good luck!

If you don’t have it already, get a laptop and wireless internet. I carry my laptop from room to room when I’m trying to work and take care of the kids. For example, I will get the girls set up in the dining room (one in the highchair and the other in her booster) with snacks, toys, and/or an art project. Then I sit at the table with my computer and work. This lasts up to 30 minutes, on a good day.

I haven’t tried this one yet, but I have a friend who hires a young teenager to come into the home and do childcare while she works in the other room. This is cheaper than a “real” babysitter, allows my friend to concentrate on her work, and the kids benefit from the energy of the teen.
